Well, they certainly crammed in all that content much better than I would have expected.

Seeing Sumire's archer avatar in action is more than enough for me, though I'm not exactly fond of her overly deep voice. So much for a character I was anticipating so much. Still, I'm convinced that the episode's highlight was the third match with Ako and Sera's showdown. Not only was it a match to score as much points as possible, but it was also to finish the match with as few hands as possible.

It was also nice to see Saki's name being dropped once again. They really are hyping her into some kind of monster, huh? Though it's kinda funny how I'd usually pin down that comment on third years and their increased tenpai rate as a case of misapplied statistics, but I wouldn't be so sure when it comes to the Saki-verse where inexplicable mahjong superpowers are relatively commonplace.

I'm still counting the episodes before Awai's eventual match up.
